Despite higher education becoming more accessible for students with disabilities, these students are often still unable to accomplish one of the most basic goals for obtaining a college degree: successfully obtaining gainful employment after graduation. This article provides an overview of a qualitative study which examined the experiences of college students in an internship program designed specifically for students with physical disabilities. The findings of this study indicate students developed vital skills and competencies which facilitated personal and career development. Through their participation in the internship program, students reported feeling better prepared to enter the workforce after graduating. General career services often fail to address the additional barriers students with physical disabilities face when attempting to secure employment after graduating from college. Through hands-on work experience and exposure to real life work environments, students reported feeling more confident about their abilities to not only get hired, but to thrive in the positions in which they were hired. Intentional efforts designed specifically to enhance the career readiness of students with physical disabilities are integral to the continued success of this population of students.
